‘Tree for Me’ Campaign

Noor is supporting the City of Toronto’s ‘Every Tree Counts‘ initiative to increase the tree canopy in the city to 40% (from the current 27%).  Resource: Why Plant Trees?

The ‘Tree for Me‘ project provides City of Toronto residents the opportunity to receive free of charge up to two trees/shrubs of native species from an offered selection.    Resource: Tree Summary Chart.
